The Consent of the Governed: Trouble is On the Way
In the United States our governments exist as a result of the consent of the governed. The consent is for the purpose of protection of the whole of the people and the individual rights of the people. It seems our government may well be failing in this basic task of protection. Look around. What do you see? You see cities which have become abandoned to such an extent thousands of houses have to be torn down because they are vacant and a danger to people. You see a government which has taken on so many responsibilities and borrowed so much money that it is rapidly going broke. You see a government which has been taken over by those whose goals are to create and preserve a Government Party whose goals are to provide benefits that far exceed the ability to pay for the benefits to the workers who derive their incomes from government and those who have the power to join together to command private benefits as if they were rights.
